Breakdown of all grades and Final Grades

Final Exam is Friday May 16^th, 13:30 hrs. It will include ALL course material (Lectures, Textbook and Students’ Presentations).

Each group will send 3 questions before 10 pm of the day before presenting. I will post the question on the website as soon as I receive them (see below).

Midterm II grades (Finally!). Section I is worth 64% (8 points per question) and Section II 36% (18 points per question) of the Midterm. If you want to calculate your total midterm II grade on a 0-100 base do the following:

Section I score

+ Section II Score x 36/28

= Total Score

Or save yourself some time and just check the excel files with grades!

These are the topics and dates for your presentations.

On 04/21/08 we agreed that the preliminary presentation on your topic will take place the class before your presentation right after finishing our lecture.

Midterm grades (Finally!).

Section I questions were worth 5 points each and section 2 15 points each. Your exam score is the number circled at the top of first page, in order to get your final grade divide it by 95 (e.g. exam score is 80, your total score or grade will be 80/95 = 84.2 or “B”).
